Unique Coincard from War Time – Blue Helmets in the South, 1979–1985

Dutch UNIFIL mission in Lebanon
A moment of commitment, vigilance and peace

Imagine: Lebanon, 1979–1985. Between civil war and unstable peace Dutch soldiers are deployed as part of the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL. Their task: to create safety, protect civilians and monitor buffer zones. Day after day they worked in difficult conditions, often far from home, to prevent escalation and protect local communities.

This mission shows how war experience transforms into commitment to peace. Soldiers operate not only in uniform, but as representatives of international solidarity and responsibility. Their presence marks the difference between chaos and hope, between threat and protection.

In this Coincard that memory lives on. A coin from this period, simple in form but rich in meaning. It symbolizes courage, commitment and the ongoing need to guard peace, even in dangerous circumstances.

Although the past was heavy, the legacy remains alive in commemoration and awareness. This Coincard is a quiet ode to the Dutch blue helmets who risked their safety to protect others, and to the power of remembrance to keep history alive.

A piece of the past in your hand.
A reminder of commitment and vigilance.
A time that continues to speak, so that we never forget.
